Is this the place where he invented the internet?



MDN word: "place" as in is this place...

...and I care why?

GREEDY!!!! Save the environment my ass... imagine the energy over a year on those things.... lol! just jealous.

Pretty messy desk, and terrible ergonomics. Barely room to move the mouse.

Nukeman,

Stop the nonsense about Gore claiming he invented the internets.

That's been debunked now for years, so drop the idiocy.

Man think of all the Global Warming those things cause, we're all gonna die!!!!

And think of the electricity he's burning by having that kind of setup. Talk about being a hypocrite. Think about your carbon footprint there Al....

I love Sundays!

OK, that's just funny to me.
Three 30" screens, and he STILL can't see the big picture!!!

I could be mistaken, but I think those are three 24" displays; sitting here looking my 24" display and the relative size of the key board in relation to the screen size in the photo.

"Man think of all the Global Warming those things cause, we're all gonna die!!!!"

"May 20, 07 - 11:52 amComment from: RC

He uses 100% GREEN energy. No fossil fuels powering those babies. :D

Stop the nonsense about Gore claiming he invented the internets.

Yeah - In 1997, I saw Bill Gates claim that Microsoft invented it.

Now that is a nice set up! Even a big screen TV on the wall.

Notice that Al does recycle - an old door in the large picture hsd been used for big board paper. The mass of paper will be "incoming" mail, reports, etc. Just shows how much goes through his office.

I like the picture though. My office, with only one small 23" display can be just as bad at times!

Apple doesn't make a stand-alone 24" monitor. They have 20", 23" and 30". Their only 24" screen is inside the 24" iMac. Thought you should know...

AL GORE, CONTRIBUTING SIGNIFICANTLY TO GLOBAL WARMING

Will you just look at all that excessive heat and electricty he's using. One 30" monitor is good enough for most professionals who need the extra screen real estate, most get by with a smaller sceen just fine.

But NOOOO, our supposed champion of the ecology is using THREE MASSIVE MONITORS when G.W Bush only uses a MacBookPro with a 17" screen.

Then just look at the CLUTTER OF AL GORES OFFICE. Obvious signs of a disorganized mind and a forgetful one, as everything, including what's on his computer screen needs to remain in constant vision or it's "out of sight, out of mind".

"Mr.President Gore, did you sign that bill about sending the troops to stop the looting and killing in post hurricane New Orleans?"

Al Gore - "Oh yea, I forgot, let me see, it's in one of these piles somewhere"

People like to bash GW Bush, and in some cases I agree with them, but this picture revels a ton of information about Al Gore and it's not all good.

what a crappy setup. 3 x 30" is nice don't get me wrong, but look at the crappy desk with mouse space. i think it sucks

He isn't using fossil fuels to run those. They've been retooled to run on smug.

"You want the screens?
You can't handle the screens!"

@iSpot-a-Hypocrite

Bush uses a computer?!! That's got to be the surprise of the day!!

As for your opinion about Gore, well, you know what they say . . . . if you can't handle the message, just attack the messenger.

Al Gore's office powered only by wind energy from hot air ejected from his mouth and combusted methane spewed from his large ass.

It must to be nice to be a director at Apple, call up and say I want 3-30" monitors, top of the line powerMac and enought video cards to power these babies up. And oh yah, overnight them to me.

You ain't seen my cluttered office.

Lots of clutter, no screens.

No plants either.

"top of the line powerMac"

Mac Pro, maybe?

Looks very gory to me. I'd rather see Rush's set-up

What you don't see is the GREEN ENVY energy being tapped off the internet to run all those 30" monitors

If that runs out, then there is always the interns using their treadmills just on the other side of the office wall to tap off of.

Sure the interns each consume $30 a day in oil needed to produce the food they eat to run the treadmills, but that's not on Al Gores head, he's using green energy, the interns just need to starve instead to save the enviroment.

And think of the electricity he's burning by having that kind of setup. Talk about being a hypocrite. Think about your carbon footprint there Al....

And talk about idiotic people thinking that by minimizing your ...monitor real estate you can save the environment.

Get a hint, idiots, it's the big industries that destroy the environment (petrol, chemicals, plastics, de-forestation etc), not your monitor or your fridge.

All you anti-Gore people, just think who you voted for instead! What a bunch of maroons! The worst president in history. All you guys sit down and shut up and let Gore and company save your worthless lives.

mr conversationist lives in a 20 room mansion with 2k plus electric bills.

from the photo it seems you have recently had the discipline to stay away from the fridge.

Well, comparing the size of his head to that of the monitors, I'd say that each of those screens must be about 15 feet across.

Who says that because someone didn't vote Gore, they voted Bush? Ever heard of the other parties?

Damn! I only have two :( Now I need to buy two more

He paid for all that stuff using his family's OIL money from Occidental Petroleum. Hippocrite much?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occidental_Petroleum#Gore_Family_Ties

Yes, I meant Hippo.

Re: Who says that because someone didn't vote Gore, they voted Bush? Ever heard of the other parties?

A vote for Nader was a vote for Bush. In a two-party system where power cannot be shared (as in a Parliamentary system), voting for a third party is denying a vote to whatever side best reflects your views. So all of you "Me? I never voted for Bush" folks, if you didn't vote for Gore, then you're responsible for the most inept, corrupt and dangerous administration in American history. It's becoming harder and harder to find those Bush guys, except for the stupid ones, of course... the vast majority.

"Get a hint, idiots, it's the big industries that destroy the environment (petrol, chemicals, plastics, de-forestation etc), not your monitor or your fridge."

Then why is Gore always on people's case about their cars and houses and whatever? He uses huge amounts of fuel in his vehicles and planes. Oh, but he buys carbon offsets...from his own company from profits he made on an oil company in which he owns stock...

Gore is the idiot...

i wish a had three of those in my office,here in europe its too dificult to afford one 30 inch,but now 3,thats awsome... .

Jeff,

You're right, pollution is more than an industrial problem.

As for all that disinformation that's been spewed out like bird crap all over the right wing press, well, consider the source. If you believe it, maybe you're the idiot.

Comparing BUSH to GORE?

HA HA HA HA!

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushism-tribal.htm

"President" BUSH is an IDIOT, in the classic sense of the word.
If this is not obvious to you, than you too are ALSO an idiot.
This has nothing to do with conservatism (neither does BUSH), by the way.

As I noted, (along with most of the rest of the world). G.W. Bush is obviously stupid.
My own Son observed that when he was 10!

Comparing Bush to Gore HA Ha etc.

As I said, the few who admit to voting for the worst president in history are the dumb ones.

If Bush's father had not been president, or rich, he would have wound up working in a garage somewhere. Wanna pass that... uhm... thingy... wrench... you know, the three-quarter... uhm, no the left hand one...

If he could use just one monitor, that would cut down “global warming” by two third! Brah ha ha ha!

Always Right, my apology. I misinterpreted your comments.

Unlike Bush or Bushies, I can admit my mistakes...

Al Gore buys carbon credits from a company he owns that completely covers his carbon footprint. He even buys credits for all the carbon dioxide he exhales and the methane that comes out the other end. He needs a lot of carbon credits, as you can imagine, but, believe me, he's got it covered.

I followed his example and started my own carbon trading company. I now live environmentally guilt free.

It is easy being green. When your company is hopelessly in carbon credit bankruptcy, you simply fold it and start another company. After all, the world is full of greenhouse heating scams.

wow (in its true form).

mw: freedom as in free from doom!

DUH! STUPID LIBERAL

If people begin being wasteful having three huge monitors made of aluminum (high energy to produce from aluminumoxide ore) and plastics (oil) instead of the average size monitor they need, who would you think will produce them? The same companies you critize.

IN CASE YOU MISSED THE POINT

Al Gore is supposed to be this great enviromentalist, but by his actions having three huge monitors he shows he's a worse example to the enviorment than GW Bush is with his MacBookPro.

AL GORE IS A HYPOCRITE

Three monitors and runs nothing but his mouth.

No problem, Richard.
Yes, I agree, humility is an important aspect of ANYONE'S makeup.
Certainly, promptly admitting when wrong is a VIRTUE.

For instance, were Cheney & Wolfowitz (The MAIN proponents of the Iraq "war", Bush doesn't REALLY now what's going on to admit the invasionb was a mistake, based on the faulty intelligence...

Oh, wait, I forgot.
Actually, they were lying.
Made it up.

Politics aside (I'm not a Democrat), Al Gore has done great things bringing environmental concerns to many, many people. Of course he's using energy as all of us do. But I have no doubt he would want more environmentally friendly alternatives, as I and many people would want. I think having him on Apple's board should have muted the absurd criticisms from environmental groups and I continue to be surprised that it did not. That they would think Gore would stay with a company abusing the environment seems foolish to me. His concern and activism in letting people know what's going on with climate change should be appreciated separately from any differences in politics people may have with him. I do believe that climate change is one of the most serious issues we have. And bees are dying off? What's with that? Gore's done a good job on the environmental front. That, and the envy over his three 30 inch displays, should be the only issue here. Your current president seems to fail in both those areas (environment and 30" Cinema Displays). Gore doesn't appear particularly enamored with politics recently.

Al Gore NEEDS 3 monitors.

He sees the big picture.

HE'S GOT MATT DRUDGE REPORT ON THE MIDDLE MONITOR.

Wow. This stuff is unvelievable.
C'mon. Man up! Somebody please attemp here to refute the fact that we, as a nation, elected a fucking moron.
Twice.
Go on!

It'd be fun to vote on these.
My favorite? "Tribal Sovereignty", followed by maybe "Nation of Africa".

Most unbelievable?
"Working 3 jobs-uniquely American". (Although it's not funny).

Al Gore could live in a shack on the beach and never use electricity again - and it would make absolutely no difference on the causes of global warming. These attacks on his supposed hypocrisy is hypocritical in itself. Gore never said that people must give up using electricity or gasoline. His opponents attack him personally in order to discredit his message.

Won't change anything. The earth will warm, the sea level will rise and those people who blame Al Gore exclusively for global warming will continue to look like fools.
